Lejeune said his set will use a powerful concert sound system and offer "extreme lighting effects." There will also be a photo booth on-site, as well as "a beachy area for summer fun." "I've done other events at campgrounds personally, but none like this with so many DJs in the lineup," Lejeune said.
